Mackinac Island (/ˈmækᵻnɔː/ MAK-in-aw) is an island and resort area, covering 3.8 square miles (9.8 km2) in land area, in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is located in Lake Huron, at the eastern end of the Straits of Mackinac, between the state's Upper and Lower Peninsulas. The island was home to an Odawa settlement before European exploration began in the 17th century. It served a strategic position as a center on the commerce of the Great Lakes fur trade. This led to the establishment of Fort Mackinac on the island by the British during the American Revolutionary War. It was the site of two battles during the War of 1812.
In the late 19th century, Mackinac Island became a popular tourist attraction and summer colony. Much of the island has undergone extensive historical preservation and restoration; as a result, the entire island is listed as a National Historic Landmark. It is well known for its numerous cultural events; its wide variety of architectural styles, including the famous Victorian Grand Hotel; its fudge; and its ban on almost all motor vehicles. More than 80 percent of the island is preserved as Mackinac Island State Park.
State parks or provincial parks are parks or other protected areas managed at the sub-national level within those nations which use "state" or "province" as a political subdivision. State parks are typically established by a state to preserve a location on account of its natural beauty, historic interest, or recreational potential. There are state parks under the administration of the government of each U.S. state, and of some states of Mexico. The term is also used in Australia, though the distinction between state and national parks there is different. The Canadian equivalent term is provincial park. Similar systems of local government maintained parks exist in other countries, but the terminology varies.
State parks are thus similar to national parks, but under state rather than federal administration. Similarly, local government entities below state level may maintain parks, e.g., regional parks or county parks. In general, state parks are smaller than national parks, with a few exceptions such as the Adirondack Park in New York and Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in California.

Mackinac Island is a very popular vacation spot - one of the top 10 islands visited in the world. You can only get to the island by ferry boat, aircraft, or walk across the ice in the dead of winter. The island has some nostalgia as the only mode of transportation is either horse, bicycle, or walking. The famous Grand Hotel is here (used for the filming of "Somewhere in Time" starring Christopher Reeve). You can stay at the Grand or any other of the many hotels. The island became the second National Park after Yellowstone in the last century, but the Federal Government turned it over to the State of Michigan, which then became the state's first State Park. http://www.RV-Project.com

We made a trip up to Mackinac Michigan and rode the Shepler's Ferry over to Mackinac Island in June/July 2010. It was a great time with beautiful weather to visit the wonderful Island on Lake Huron. Mackinac Island throws you back in time sort of because motorized vehicles have been prohibited on the island since 1898, with the exception of snowmobiles during winter, emergency vehicles, and service vehicles. So travel on the island is either by foot, bicycle, or horse-drawn carriage.
